Operating this chipper safely is necessary to prevent or minimize the risk of

death or serious injury

. Unsafe operation can create a

number of hazards for you. Always take the following precautions when operating this chipper:

 Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people, their property, and

themselves.

 Your DR CHIPPER ATTACHMENT is a powerful tool, not a plaything. Exercise extreme caution at all times. The design of this

machine is to chip wood. Do not use it for any other purpose.

 Know how to stop the chipper quickly; see “stopping the chipper” in chapter 4.

 Operate this machine on a level surface only. Never operate your unit on a slippery, wet, muddy, or icy surface. Exercise

caution to avoid slipping or falling.

 Keep your face and body back from the chipper hopper to avoid accidental bounce back of any material.

 When feeding material into the chipper hopper, be extremely careful that pieces of metal, rocks, or other foreign objects are

not included. Personal injury or damage to the machine could result.

 Never allow an accumulation of processed material to build up in the discharge area as this will prevent proper discharge and

can result in kickback from the chipper hopper.

 Whenever you leave the operating position or if you have to remove processed material, leaves, or debris from the machine,

always disengage the blade at the control panel of the field and brush mower. Shut down the engine, wait for all moving parts

to come to a complete stop, remove spark plug wire keeping it away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting, then

wait 5 minutes before removing processed material, leaves, or debris from the machine.

 Always disengage the blade when moving the chipper attachment with the field and brush mower.

 Keep combustible substances away from the engine when it is hot.

 Never cover the machine while the muffler is still hot.

 If the cutting mechanism strikes a foreign object or if your machine should start making an unusual noise or vibration,

disengage the blade at the control panel of the field and brush mower. Shut down the engine, wait for all moving parts to

come to a complete stop, remove spark plug wire keeping it away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting, then wait

5 minutes before inspecting for clogging or damage. Vibration is generally a warning of trouble. Clean and repair and/or

replace damaged parts.

 Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.

 Stay alert for hidden hazards or traffic. Never carry passengers on your machine.

 Never overload or attempt to chip material beyond the manufacturer’s recommendation; see “using the chipper hopper” in

chapter 4. Personal injury or damage to the machine could result.

 While using the DR CHIPPER ATTACHMENT, don't hurry or take things for granted. When in doubt about the equipment or

your surroundings, stop the machine and take the time to look things over.

 Never operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.

 Use the machine only in daylight.

 Keep all nuts and bolts tight and keep the equipment in good operating condition.
